Edison Pena, the #8216;mining athlete #8217;, you run the Tokyo Marathon
Filed Under (Others) by admin on 26-02-2011
Edison Pena, one of 33 Chileans who spent 69 days trapped in a mine, run the Tokyo Marathon on Sunday with the sole aim of #8220;reaching the goal #8221;, having completed in November in New York in 5 hours and 50 minutes .
Pena, who arrived in Tokyo this week with his wife, Angelica, said the invitation to Tokyo #8217;s marathon seemed like an opportunity #8220;not be missed. #8221;
While trapped, to overcome boredom and depression, ran through the underground galleries
During the time he was trapped in the mine of San Jose to 700 meters deep, the Chilean earned the nickname #8220;the athlete #8221; among his peers because, to overcome boredom and depression, ran through the underground galleries.
#8220;First I cut my boots to improvise a shoe and then I was getting other footwear, neoprene first and then sent me running shoes, #8221; Pena recalled.
Sunday #8217;s race will cover regulatory 42.195 kilometers through several streets of downtown Tokyo, a very different scenario to the dark tunnels of the mine where Pena recalled, #8220;there were many stones, pricked, they were like knives. #8221;
Asked what advice would you give to the Japanese athletes for Sunday #8217;s race, he recommended #8220;not to think of something else to reach the goal. That #8217;s what #8217;s important. #8221;
Pena also declared admirer of Haile Gebreselassie, world record holder in marathon 2h03: 59 and who on Thursday announced that it will participate in the Tokyo race, as planned, after injuring his knee during a workout at home.
KNEE PROBLEMS
Despite not being nervous in view of the competition, he said the knee also can cause problems: #8220;Let #8217;s see how it behaves, #8221; said Pena, who in New York had to complete the last 20 miles of the marathon with bags ice in the legs.
He has participated in various sporting events and their agenda has upcoming visits to Germany and Mexico
He also said that completing the race, dedicated this new achievement #8220;God. #8221; After the rescue of the San José mine that catapulted him to fame along with peers, Edison Pena has participated in various sporting events and tours of various countries, and its agenda has upcoming visits to Germany and Mexico.
#8220;I thought to live a quiet life, no noise, nobody would invite me anywhere, #8221; he said. But, before the turn gave his life, is determined to seize opportunities.
#8220;If I say no to things, would be sitting watching soap operas in my country, #8221; he reflects, but is reluctant to talk about long-term plans: #8220;I do not think in the future. Tomorrow you die. That learned. #8221;

Stoner improved the lap record, held by Valentino Rossi, absent with flu on Wednesday, with 2.00.518 since 2009, and again demonstrated the power of the #8216;RC212V #8217;, with Dovizioso closing the provisional podium 2:00.531 .

The official Yamaha team tried to match the times of Honda, but had to settle for fourth in the American Ben Spies, to 653 thousandths of Stoner, and the fifth of current world champion Jorge Lorenzo, at 760 mil. Anyway, the Texan suffered a fall afternoon, when fighting with the stopwatch at the last minute. The incident had no physical consequences, but left without options to improve his best lap.
Lorenzo, meanwhile, lowered by several tenths fastest lap of the first day and was the last to shoot below 2.01 (2:00.931), but their performance could not stop the advance of the official Honda.

The ACP is defending itself against allegations
Filed Under (cycling) by admin on 21-02-2011
The acquittal of Alberto Contador by the Competition Committee of the Spanish Cycling Federation (RFEC) for his positive test for clenbuterol in the last Tour de France has not been well received beyond our borders.
Our athletes in general and our riders in particular have become the target of criticism from media institutions and outside Europe, in some cases to be disproportionate attacks and baseless.
So, in defense of the interests of their constituents, the Association of Professional Cyclists (ACP) has come out against the criticism and, in a statement, has made clear his view. #8220;The ACP stands above all fair play and is totally against any doping practice #8230; The Spanish cyclists, through this partnership, working with sports bodies in the regulatory compliance, recall from the Association .
#8220;The Spanish professional cyclists comply scrupulously with the program #8217;s #8216;biological passport #8217; and even contribute a percentage (2%) of their awards to assist in the fight against doping, #8221; continues the statement which reflects the total up the collective national cyclist with the rules, an aspect that has not wanted to be taken into account by some belligerents outside nustras borders.
The ACP calls for respect
In addition, referring to criticism that indicate favorable treatment by the Spanish riders RFEC, ACP is removed from the data that theory. #8220;Almost all disciplinary proceedings RFEC reaching the end with a penalty and a fine of around 70% of the salary of the corridor, #8221; remember, while seeking respect for the collective.

Accountant, for the first

Although last week could hardly train, at least not continuously, despite the nerves, tension and lack of concentration, as collateral and secondary effects, has resulted in the pinteño the case, Alberto Contador was presented in the last stage of the Tour of the Algarve and second place overall, after all chance of victory intact.
The State, physical and mental, as this race is not nowhere near the ideal of a cyclist nor does he usually has, but despite all odds has managed to reach the last stage in a position of privilege : second, just six seconds behind Cummings and with a lead of four seconds over Tony Martin, Van Garderen and six out of 12 on Taaramae.
#8220;Any of them can win, because they are all dangerous, #8221; he explained at the end of yesterday #8217;s stage, which incidentally was released Greipel. #8220;But the favorite is Tony Martin because the course is not too hard and the wind usually hits, #8221; which is something to be German, bronze medal in the last two World Championships specialty.
Contador will not, however, defeated, quite the opposite: #8220;I want to do a test and make her butt, #8221; he explains. #8220;Every day I go a little better. #8221;
Of its rivals, which also have to tell Klöden, Millar and Luis Leon Sanchez, who incidentally released position has dropped following his visit to the McLaren wind tunnel, Martin seems the most dangerous, but the Spaniard does not rule nothing: #8220;If something I do well is by the people who supported me. Also by Saxo Bank team and my teammates, #8221; which this week have taken a head wind as though they masterfully life together.
The time trial of 17.2 miles on a steep slope and many changes of pace through the curves, will be held between Lagoa and Portimao. Last year she Luis Leon Sanchez and Contador, who ran with goat parts, was second.

Tagged Under : Dani Clos
Spanish driver Dani Clos GP2 is now held at the Bahrain circuit, unable to return to the capital, Manama, and first person living in the riots that are shaking the tiny Arab emirate this morning claimed four lives in clashes between demonstrators and police.
The lack of medical equipment in the circuit has prevented the dispute the first practice test GP2 Asian Series and the pilots, who had a relatively easy ride from their hotel this morning, have been forced to stay in the circuit and that all access to the capital are closed.
#8220;Tonight I #8217;ve been hearing the shots, #8221; he says to mark the Spaniard by telephone from the circuit itself. #8220;I woke up to see what this day was then and I have met with tanks, military and police presence much right under my hotel. I have had to be within 200 meters from the center, where all the trouble. #8221;
Clos, like the other drivers, are concerned and looking for new hotels completely away from the center and near the path, about 30 kilometers from the capital. #8220;We have no military presence, only people in the organization of the race and are relatively quiet. We say we do not go with anything, which is an internal issue, so we #8217;ll go. #8221;
The race organization has ensured the teams will have police escorts to return to its new hotels and tomorrow as well to return to the path, if the training can be disputed, since it is not guaranteed the necessary medical assistance without which can not be disputed motorsports.
Although this is not the main concern of the caravan GP2: #8220;Okay, now we are here to spread, and if we can we will, but we #8217;ll see how things evolve, because if not, what interests us most is leave the country. Imagine something happens and we can not leave, #8220;he insists.
At the bottom of these riots is the is the eternal tension between the Shia community, which accounts for 80% of the million people who inhabit the small Arab Emirate and the Sunni ruling in lower parliamentary monarchy with King Sheikh Hamad. On the horizon, Formula 1, which is the next to reach more than 400 journalists from around the world visit the country from next week with training provided from day 3.
Jean Todt, president of the FIA, has reflected this morning do not want to make foolish decisions and other wait events, but Bernie Ecclestone said yesterday that he recognizes that the situation is not optimal, #8220;The danger is obvious, right? If these people want make a fuss and seek exposure worldwide, is dramatically easier, no? We start with a problem on the grid in Bahrain and get worldwide coverage. #8220;

Contador will race again this week
Filed Under (cycling) by admin on 15-02-2011
The Competition Committee of the Spanish Cycling Federation has decided to acquit if Alberto Contador of his positive test for clenbuterol in the last Tour de France. Their decision will be made official on Tuesday and the runner may return to racing after this Wednesday Tour of Algarve, If desired.
The four members of the Committee drafted the letter Monday in which he weighed the position of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) for the case of table tennis player, Dmitrij Ovtcharov.
Confirmed the acquittal, Contador will race again normally and immediately
The final decision to sanction the proposal pinteño will be released on Tuesday, confirmed the president of the RFEC, Juan Carlos Castano, who said that in principle, the decision would be made public on Monday, but President Competition Committee replied #8220;that was impossible because they were still contrasting data. #8221;
Thus Alberto Contador will race again normally and immediately. The cyclist claims based on Article 296 of the UCI Anti-Doping Rules, which showed that his performance had been neither liability nor negliencia.
As is known for counter resolution, the UCI and WADA shall, if they disagree, a month to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
Recall that the AMA did not appeal the acquittal of the TAS table tennis player Ovtcharov, who tested positive for clenbuterol and a rate of 75 picograms, which is slightly higher than that given by Contador, who was 50 picograms.
The Giro, objective
Thus, Contador could get back on the bike officially Tuesday at the Tour of Algarve (Portugal). That in the event that the International Cycling Union, as it does not seem to be your will, not the decision to interfere asking the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to extend the interim suspension since Aug. 25 is in effect.
Also inscribed in the Tour of Murcia and according to deadlines that usually handle the Court of Arbitration for such efforts, it usually take three or four months, it could even run the Giro d #8217;Italia before the TAS call on all involved. The Italian round can become one of the major objectives of pinteño cyclist.

Marcelo, captain in place control
Filed Under (Sports, news) by admin on 14-02-2011
The match left some good news Cornellà for Real Madrid. The best, of course, was the performance of Marcelo, who made a superb match at the height of the best of a player who broke the mold on the left flank at the Bernabeu.
Marcelo -22 years, continues to cut the distance that separates him from Roberto Carlos, the best left back in the history of Madrid. You do not have the same scrimmage, the best weapon of its predecessor, and his influence over the Real Madrid, but his weight in the team #8217;s offensive game is growing. In many games, like yesterday, absolutely crucial.
Marcelo is not only the defense of Madrid only able to get the ball in a regular solvent. In the field, otherwise it becomes a natural inside, and end if it happens. His torn, but known to all of Madrid #8217;s rivals, often wreak havoc on opposing defenses. And his presence in the field, also a Christian power, with whom he formed one of those societies that every great team needs.
His game yesterday was also a symbolic value. Marcelo inherited the captain #8217;s armband after the expulsion of Casillas, and honored him with one of his best games since he came to Madrid, just four years ago. To his critics not reliable because the kid is laughing a lot. They do not realize that their ability to have fun playing is precisely what makes him more dangerous.
PS: To calibrate the weight of Marcelo in Madrid, just a review of their absences. The latter, in Pamplona. Last season, in the return to Lyon.

It is not intended to be for Gladbach!
Filed Under (Sports) by admin on 13-02-2011
1:3 in St. Paul - that #8217;s it for now Borussia Moenchengladbach! What annoys me, especially how the Gladbach have once again shot itself in the foot. Key scene of the game was the stupid Sap by Igor de Camargo against Matthias Lehmann - which has created the Gladbacher the rest in a relegation battle.
Sure, this basement battle are pure emotion. But why does de Camargo - Gladbach led 1-0 at the time - zustürmen to a normal foul like a rampaging bull on Lehmann and offer him the forehead? The St. Pauli could be but then fall theatrical and were also ruthlessly honest about this ( #8221;What a gift I take with thanks #8221;), but the subsequent sending off has de Camargo blame.
Misery is homemade
A red card with message - and that in such an important game! What a disservice to the Borussia, which then again was almost slaughtered without resistance. Incidentally, it was already the ninth entry into this season, Gladbach has blown it. Not to mention sending off seven and incredible 56 goals conceded. So you can only descend.
Chase over before it began
Only a miracle can save the severed bottom yet. Against Schalke Borussia playing for the shirt. But where to get a burst? The much heralded comeback is over before it has begun. The incredibly unfortunate defeat against Stuttgart last week and now the self-inflicted defeat in St. Pauli are only highlights of a completely mediocre season. It should simply not be for the Moenchengladbach. A change in the highly controversial coach Michael Frontzeck brings as much use.

Snowboard resizing - What to consider when buying?
As already mentioned, the Board correct length depends on the height and weight. The ideal Beginners Board also has a length which is approximately to shoulder or up to the nose last.
For small and dainty people are suitable for entry into the Winter Sports more shorter Boards. For larger and more powerful people expect longer snowboards are more appropriate.
Have you started to make progress on the sleek made board, you can switch to a longer board.
Length of the snowboards depending on runway conditions
On groomed slopes it makes sense to use a shorter board. Courageous, however, who believe in the deep snow had recommended a longer board.
The snowboards are different not only in its length but also in the Width. Drivers who preferred to Powder snow (Powder) should take, drawing on a wider board.
Moreover, a board is also different in hardness and Flexibility. It should rather rely on a beginner board that is less hard but for flexibility, since not make mistake on soft boards as noticeable. Hard boards, however, are catchy and are more suitable to drive on the edges.
